I spent 7 years at the Museum of Science in Boston where as an Education Associate I developed hands on activities for many of the temporary exhibits. Each new exhibit meant a new topic and therefore needed new skills and attention. That said I have experience developing activities for a variety of content areas including history, mathematics, technology, chemistry, anatomy, and more. I am a dedicated educator who never puts out content without presenting it to the public myself. I stand by my activities and the pedagogy that makes them functional and worthwhile for visitors. Currently, as Museum Supervisor to a small museum in Bluffton SC i have begun to focus on larger programming questions. I have developed a series of field trips for pre-k through 3rd grade as well as summer camp curriculum for the same age range. Additionally, I have put together smaller workshops,storyline, and holiday special events. I thrive as a creative force and work well with a team dedicated to development and delivery of quality educational programming.
